CONDITIONS OF SALE.
Please Read Sale Terms Before Bidding.
This is a bona-fide public sale, for prompt cash settlement, and irrespon
sible persons who are not sure whether they can pay for what they bid on.
are asked not to bid. The cataloguer has taken special pains to describe
each lot accurately. Errors will be corrected, but he reserves the sole right
to decide upon any claims. No corrections or refunds will be made, and no
lots can be returned, unless the bidder submits his case in writing within 30
days of the date of the sale.
Coins and medals are sold at so much per PIECE, and no lot will be
separated. You cannot buy a few pieces out of a lot but must buy all of it.
The auctioneer will accept no bid under 10 cents to start a lot where that
lot contains only one piece; nor will he accept any advance under 5c on
any lot containing but one piece; after the price has reached $2. no advance
under 10c will be accepted on any lot containing one piece; after $5.00 the
bid must advance 25c each time; after $10 no bid under 5 0c.
Our rules regarding lots containing more than one piece will remain un-
changed and the same as before.
Auction sales are strictly for cash. Parties unknown to me and bidding
for the first time, must give bank or other reliable reference, or their bids
will not be executed.
Forward your bids as early as possible, as thousands of bids have to be
entered. Do not make ridiculously low bids, such as 10c. and 15c. on foreign
silver coins worth several times over as bullion. Write your bids plainly,
with a pen 'if practicable.
Where the number of pieces in a lot is not given after the description,
there is but one piece in the lot.
Be sure you hid on the lot you wish to buy. We cannot correct such
errore.
All coins, etc., are genuine unless otherwise described.
A charge of 5 % will be made to cover packing but where the parcel
is bulky an additional packing charge will be made. No charge made for
bidding except for lots actually purchased. Remit by money order or New
York draft.
If any further information is required as to valuation of lots, or how
to bid, please write the cataloguer. THOMAS L. ELDER.
Important Notice. We keep two books of the sale recording each lot as
sold, and we will not accept any sale records from outsiders. Our records
are final.
No priced catalogue will be furnished of this sale.

ANCIENT ROMAN COINS AND MINTS IN GREAT BRITAIN.
With Additional Notes on Gaulish Mint Coins Found in Wales.
By THOMAS L. ELDER.
The Roman domination of Britain dates from the landing of Caesar in
B. C. 55. Later, in A. D. 43, Claudius I. went to England. In 78 Agricola
defeated and subjected the Caledonians. Hadrian landed in England in 120,
while Antoninus Pius visited the British Isles in ■ 140. During the long
period of four hundred years of Roman occupation of Britain the rich min-
eral deposits in England and Wales were continuously worked and their tin,
gold, lead and copper helped greatly to enrich Rome and supply her large
and urgent need for metals, so useful to her in peace and war. North Britain
was abandoned early and Ireland was not even invaded, on account of the
poverty of these regions in minerals. Descendants of Phoenician and Iberian
miners are still pointed out in the “short, dark people” in Wales. During
this period of occupation Britain built a net-work of roads, and many towns.
Numerous finds of coins of the ancient invaders have come to light
during the years of the middle ages and on down to the present. In 1873
a small hoard of 200 coins was found at Barley Pound near Condall, Hants,
of rulers from Claudius Gothicus to Allectus. Of the find one of Carausius
is thus described. Obverse: Imp. Carausius. P. Avg. Draped and radiate
bust to right. Reverse: Genio Britanni. In Exergue, C (Camalodinium?)
The youthful Genius is shown holding patera above a lighted altar and Cor-
nucopia. This is said to be a unique type. Other types of Carausius and
Allectus were struck at London and Colchester. The reverses included
Galleys, a Lion or Hyena and legends Temporum Felicit, Saeculum Avg.,
Moneta Avg. etc.
In 1907, at Little Ormes Head, North Wales, a bronze vessel was dug
up, containing several hundred coins of the Roman Emperor Carausius;
and with this was exhumed a larger pottery jar containing a corroded mass
of bronze, which on being examined proved to be 5,000 Roman middle and
116
THE COLLECTOR’S NOTES.
small-sized Bronze coins of British and Gaulish Mints. Careful washing of
the coins left them in almost perfect mint state, although about sixteen
hundred years old. The location where found showed evidences of Roman
masonry work and this hoard is thought to have been a military chest, kept
at a Roman station, at the point where the coins were disinterred. The
Roman emperors pictured on the coins included Allectus, Maximilian Her-
cules, Maximinus Daza, Licinius Pater, Quintillus, Aurelian, Severina, Nu-
merian, Diocletian. Carausius, Constantius Chlorus, Valeria and Constan-
tine I. The types of British mints numbered 25, Gaulish and other types
17. The mints included the Gaulish moneying places of Siscia, Treveris, or
Treves, Arles and Lyons. The coins of Constantine I predominated, with
3,5 0 0 pieces; Licinius I was represented by 1,4 00, while the varieties in-
cluded 17 2 of Gaul. It has been figured that these coins were deposited
about 310 A. D. and therefore sixteen hundred and seventeen years must
have passed since Roman hands put them into the two receptacles. Most of
the busts were cuirassed, and the mints of both Constantine I and Licinius
included many of London. The busts of these rulers are well executed.
The mints of London were designated by the letters PLN (Pecunia Londin-
ensis), M. L. N. (Moneta Londinensis) , M. S. L. (Moneta Signata Londin-
ensis), M. LL. (Moneta Legionis Londinensis), PLON( Pecunia Londin-
ensis) and M. L. (Moneta Londinensis). The inscription “Rvtvpiae” is
supposed to mean Richborough. The Treves mint is marked PTR (Percussa
Treveris), MOSTP, MOSTS, MOSTT and MOSTQ (Moneta Signata Treviris
Prima, Sec, ter, or quarta). Arles is designated PARL, SARL, TARL and
QARL (Prima, Sec, ter or quarta Arelate.) Lyons, (Lugdunum). PLG
(Pecunia Lugduni). The chief reverse types are Sol, the Deity, Genius,
Concord, Mars, Horses, altars, standards, Soli Invicto, Principi Ivventvtis
and SPQR.
This remarkable lot of coins has been described minutely in the British
Numismatic Journal by W. Sharpe Ogden, and is rated as one of the most
notable of recent finds. We have word (through Mr. Newell) of a recent
find made near the British Museum, of which Mr. Elder has secured several
hundred fine examples with some of the London Mint. He notes a good
many of the “Urbs Roma” type with helmeted head of Rome, the reverse
showing the traditional wolf suckling Romulus and Remus, the ‘‘founders
of Rome”, the latter a small bronze coin of fine workmanship of the time
of Constantine Magnus. The immense number of coins struck at this time
in England at the various mints, but chiefly in London, may be imagined
when it is stated that it is next to impossible to find of the thousands recently
unearthed two coins from exactly the same die. The die-makers must have
been kept very busy with the immense difficulty of keeping the die sufficient-
ly harder than the coin metal to prevent breakage.
THE COLLECTOR’S NOTES.
117
In April, 19 22, in a small cave in the cliff near East Wood Ashover,
Derbyshire, England, were found 4 2 Roman silver and debased denarii and
antoniani of rulers ranging from Septimius Severus to Gordian III, covering
a period of 50 years.
The English coins of Allectus include reverse types “Laetitia Avgvsti’
and “Providentia Avg,” and often bear the London mint-mark M. L. Coins
of Allectus and Carausius are also known to have been struck at Colchester
(C.). A few great rarities in reverse types or mints of Britain have turned
up. These get individual classification in the journals of the British numis-
matic societies. A coin of Maximian bore the reverse “Pax Avg. G. G. M.
L.” (London). “XXL”
The later rulers of Britain, following the Romans, sometimes copied
Roman coin types and designs in the curious “sceatta”. Coins of St. Ethel-
bert bear the “wolf and twins,” a common Roman type described above
(tempus Const. I). A widely varied coinage followed imitating Gaulish
types, with heads, animals, dots, dashes and other curious symbols, running
down to the beginning of the Anglo-Saxon era, when a new type appeared
in the British silver penny.
THEFTS.
There is a tradition among astrologers and in astrology that “Sagitt-
arius shall be in danger from theft.” Be it known, whatever merit there is
in the idea, that this particular “Sagittarius” has been a good mark for
thieves for the last twenty years. In our store on East 2 3rd Street the
writer caught an office boy selling stolen coins to a down-town dealer in
coins. These were United States Silver coins. The object in stealing coins
usually is to sell them and realize money on them. We are going to list
from time to time every coin stolen, which will pretty easily fix the attention
of any one buying coins on the question of their identity. Our thefts of
the last three years include: About 100 Indestructible Pearl Beads, without
clasps, but very fine beads; about 3 00 Little groschen coins of Sigismundus
I. of Lithuania. Type The Duke mounted, with dates from 1544 to about
1558. Reverse arms. These are silver; seven or eight copies of Mr. New-
comb’s Book on the U. S. Cents of 1801, 1802 and 1803, stolen from our
rear room during a coin sale at No. 9 Each 37th Street; $20 Kellog & Co.
gold; Broad Metapontum Stater, Very fine; 1799 cent, good, with a bold
date, an 1856 cent, taken at the same time and uncirculated, and other ob-
jects. Not only that but a young thief, who had been enjoying free meals
at my house, while being paid 75 cents per hour for his work, stole a lot of

paper money and coins from me, and served three months in jail for his en-
terprise. This lad was just 17 years of age. So we have had thieves and
thieves, of all sorts of social standing, ranging from the unwashed young
degenerate referred to, up to the slick and educated “collector of coins.”
They all belong in the same class and all should be doing their time up at
Ossining where social rank is leveled. To the innocent we do not refer, and
to the guilty we warn them that we have taken special measures to detect
them and if we catch them it will go hard with them. We think we know
who they are.
NATHAN HALE.
This patriot and martyr, an officer in our army, has not had a medal
struck to him by Congress, as many other of the patriots have had, and he
did not have a monument to his memory until comparatively recent years.
He answered the call of Washington himself in 1776 for a volunteer to go
into the British lines in New York city to procure valuable military infor-
mation. Hale got the information but was recognized and betrayed by his
cousin, bearing the same surname of Hale, and, conducted to the presence
of Sir William Howe, who did not even grant him the semblance of a trial
but “ordered him hanged in the morning.” He met his death like a patriot
and regretted he had but one life to lose for his country. Provost-Marshal
Cunningham, a renegade, observed the utmost cruelty towards him to the
last, tearing up his letters to his relatives, so that it “would not be known
that a rebel could die with so much fortitude.”
Andre was captured by three militiamen after he left Arnold. With him
were found six incriminating documents in the handwriting of Arnold, to
further the betrayal of the fortress at West Point into the hands of the
British army. Andre, while captured on September 23rd, was not executed
until October 2nd, and he received every consideration that could be granted,
Washington even sending meals to him from his own table. He was not
tried by court-martial, contrary to common supposition. Washington simp-
ly appointed a board of officers, consisting of a dozen American generals,
who politely questioned him. General Greene told Andre he need not hurry
with his replies nor reply at all to any question unless he saw fit to do so.
Andre was even allowed to send for his servant and clothing in New York.
The Board of officers reported their findings to Washington who decided on
his fate, upon hearing the recommendation of the Board. Andre was a spy,
he promptly admitted it, and died like a brave man. Hale expressed a far

nobler sentiment as he was about to be hung than Andres in his last
words. Andre called out to the Americans to “witness” that he “died like a
brave man.” Compare the last words of the two. Yet Andre and his spying
with Arnold are in every American history while Hale’s part is sometimes
omitted. There seem to be among us a few “historians” who are very very
considerate of the feelings of Europeans. So it would seem, to say the least.
Is this a good reason for contracting or omitting our history? It is quite
likely, however, that we shall have with us these small-souled writers
for many years to come, so long as they receive applause and adulation for
their great accomplishments as “historians.” How galling it must have
been to them to have to lick, or stick, onto their letters very recently, the
two-cent stamp bearing the likeness of Nathan Hale!
ATTACKS ON MEDAL- WINNERS OF THE REVOLUTION.
From the Adamses to the Hamiltons, and from the private soldier’s
ranks to George Washington nobody seems immune from criticism, and we
are at present reading the “onslaughts” against their characters and abili-
ties, from the cock-sure modern college professor “historian” and from
“biographers of Washington” with “Hollywood complex.” The latter sort
of mud-slinging is the most ungracious and disgusting of all, for if we owe
about everything we have in independence to anybody it is to George Wash-
ington, the man without whom the Revolution could not have been won, at
least not without many more years of struggle. His abilities as a military
commander have been vigorously assailed, even if he caused Sir William
Howe to evacuate Boston, right at the start of the Revolution, and if Howe
never got into Boston afterwards. For this service he was awarded by Con-
gress the largest gold medal ever struck during the War. This most mod-
ern “historian” of Washington believes we should “be consistent” in allow-
ing all sorts of alleged improprieties about Washington’s personal conduct
and character, to be constantly flaunted in our faces from many pages of
his books. That sort of thing to him seems merely natural in this modern
day and age and the proper way to write about a great man. But the most
amusing thing of all is to have these literary geniuses tell us just how they
would have fought the battles of the Revolutionary war and what Washing-
ton did not do that he should have done. In other words we should go to
Bohemia and “Hollywood” for our Napoleon Bonapartes and U. S. Grants.
This gentleman biographer has got sat down on pretty hard at times recent-
ly, and seems to be able to stand some more pressure. Even Europe is
laughing at us and telling us she prefers the old-fashioned picture of our
Commander Washington in preference to the new model, pictured with such
bizarre trappings in 1927.

THE VALENTINE SALE RESULTS.
Dr. Valentine has written me stating my sale of his coin collection was
much better than he anticipated, the results obtained being much more
than the sum he offered to sell the collection for to “at least two prominent
dealers.” He said he was “very glad they did not accept.” The moral is,
send your coins to us to catalogue and sell for you.
DEAD WOOD.
We have recently gone through our mailing list and have weeded out a
good many addresses. A number of these we have not heard from in two
years or more, so decide they are not interested in our sales or our catalogs.
Catalogs cost money, all other ideas to the contrary, and big money, and we
ask collectors to assist us in reducing our printing bills by not asking for
catalogs unless they send us an occasional bid. We are going to cut off all
who do not bid in six or eight sales, naturally.
APPRECIATION.
